Our veggie gardens are winding down. In the middle of the picture is our hops. They’re like a wall of green in the summer. I want to build the trellis higher and make a moon door up high. Its 12’ tall now and my wife wont let me get on the ladder any higher, but it would look really cool on a full moon. We will be harvesting apples for cider and clearing some of the beds to plant winter food (like carrots, radishes, beets and garlic). We are lucky to be semi-self sufficient in these uncertain times.

Looks like a banner year for apples! I hear you about uncertain times. I have been adding perennial food crops over the last year or so.
If you manage to get that moon door built, that will be epic.

That’s so wonderful! I wonder what happened to get the tree to decide to finally bear fruit. Keep those pollinators busy! Thanks for posting these pictures. 
@leo - your garden is glorious! You’re so fortunate to be able to spread out like this. It looks amazing!
Have fun with the cider! 
I agree that your moon door would look fabulous if you ever get it put up.

Happy harvesting, planting, and moon door-crafting (as much as your wife allows!). Sounds like lot of fun happenings in your garden

i love lilies! but that seems a little obvious, haha. forget-me-nots are also a favorite of mine.
i have two little bamboo stalks. i’ve had them since rrrroughly mid-2023? but i love them with all my heart. no pictures, i’m afraid. i named one sol (he has a yellow-y tint to him, with a lot of leaves) & the other luna (she’s the more typical green, with not as any leaves). i named them that to honor my heritage as a latina with heavy roots in mexico.

We had a busy morning out by the feeders a few mornings ago - a beautiful sunny day in December, but still bitter cold.
I was gifted by a visit from this Northern Flicker at the suet feeder! I was thrilled to watch him before deciding to run for the phone.
He’s an elusive fella - I usually only spot him and Mrs Flicker from a distance. I think the big chill made him bold!
These were snapped through a dirty kitchen window - don’t judge. 
He’s been visiting me every day since. Needless to say, I’ll keep the suet coming! Everyone else loves it as well as the seeds out there.
I love watching them.

Great pictures. And he’s a big boy! My resident flickers are smaller.

Thank you! Yes, isn’t he something? He’s hard to miss out there.
Plus, I regret to note that he doesn’t like sharing.
